The Global Learning Council: a Broad Cross-Sector Dialogue about Best Practices in the Development of Learning Technologies

该项目正在支持全球学习委员会（GLC）的第一次面对面会议。GLC成立于2013年，成员包括工业界、学术界、非营利组织和政府。在这次会议上，他们将讨论技术增强的学习，重点是学习科学在学习工具开发中的应用、学习成果的数据以及学生如何学习的科学。具体的会议包括a)最佳实践，b)大数据，c) K-16。工作组将重点关注其他主题，如a)在线课程和其他技术增强学习工具时代的教育研究资金，以及b)与扩大研究驱动的基于结果的学习相关的政策挑战。会议将产生若干成果，其中包括案例研究，展示数据在改进技术增强学习方面的重要性，对在不同部门（如教育、劳动力、公司和慈善机构）使用学生成果数据的下一步步骤和过程提出建议，宣布由GLC代表的一些机构捐赠的新学习成果数据集，宣布一套工具，使越来越多参与有效教学发展和传播的利益相关者能够使用学习分析。这些和其他可交付成果将通过全球学习委员会网站和卡内基梅隆大学西蒙斯倡议网站提供。与会者将提供评估反馈。本项目由本科教育司通过IUSE项目资助。

This project is supporting the first in-person meeting of the Global Learning Council (GLC). Started in 2013, the GLC includes members from industry, academia, non-profits, and government. At this conference they will discuss technology-enhanced learning, focused on the application of learning science to the development of learning tools, data on learning gains, and the science of how students learn.Specific conference sessions include a) Best Practices, b) Big Data, and c) K-16. Working groups will focus on additional topics such as a) funding for educational research in the era of online courses and other technology-enhanced learning tools, and b) policy challenges related to scaling research-driven outcome-based learning. The conference will lead to several deliverables which include case studies that demonstrate the importance of data in improving technology enhanced learning, recommendations on the next steps and processes in using student outcome data across different sectors (such as educational, workforce, company, and philanthropic), announcement of a new collection of learning outcome data donated by a number of the institutions represented in the GLC, the announcement of a set of tools that make learning analytics accessible to an increasing number of the stakeholders involved in the development and dissemination of effective teaching. These and other deliverables will be made available through the Global Learning Council site and the site for the Simons Initiative at Carnegie Mellon. Conference attendees will provide evaluation feedback. This project is funded by the Division of Undergraduate Education through the IUSE program.
